Features? For an amp that only costs 200$, this is loaded! Truth, this amp is a monster for its price. 4 Channels, 2 clean, and 2 dis, plus a massive nuclear dis boost, makes this amp worth the while. Also, you get some good reverb (although it doesnt sound too authentic) and some cool chorus. Nice job Fender.

I use a Squier Strat, with Humbuckers, and I have to say, its great! Only prob with this amp, is the dis can get away with it sometimes, but other than that, the clean and dis are great. I also have an MXR Distortion +, and it works amazingly well with this amp. Chorus is good, although not as good as a pedal type, and the reverb is good, not great. I play alot of punk, but also some rock and acoustic, and i say this amp can fit any one's needs. Also, this amp is only 25 watts, but i swear by the book, this amp sounds like a 90 watt!

Great amp, good make. Survived a fall down 3 flights of stairs, so it has to be made well. :)

I would buy this amp again as a backup or as a second along with another amp. Good amp for a moderate to pro, its waaaay better than the price suggests. Get this amp! You wont regret it.

A kewl product from fender!! The brand new Automatic GT!! The amp is created for grunge,metal,and all the heavy stuff. And that's what i play. The amp's 5 channels are preset. Clean,Studio-Clean,Crunch/Drive, Crunch/Gain,Lead/Overdrive...sumthing like that. It also has a built-in chorus and reverb. All can be accesed by the press of a button. There is a footswitch to toggle on/off for the chorus and lead/overdrive. There is also an input for a headphone jack to play during the late nights. I'd wish the preset distrotion had more sustain though i use an MT-2(pedal) for my dirty sound.The amp is 25W and has lotsa power for me.

i'm using a korean made fender copy guitar with stock pickups,so the sound doesn't really come out.Try and Ibanez or ESP and maybe you'll get one of the heaviest sound in town. There is a slight noise somewhat like a hum when i put the reverb high(i usually let it stay at 6.5).

Overall the amp kix ass and is god for medium advanced players.Most probably i'd buy it if it got stolen.The good thing about it is it has an awesome sound great for all rockers.But the volume knob is so damn sensitive...i put it to 0.9 when i play it at room level. My previous amp(an Adder Plus Rocktek) was sett at 2.5 to get the same volume.
